Sambal Goreng Daging - Beef in Chili and Spice Paste
The most famous sambal goreng dish is probably sambal goreng hati, but I am not a big fan of liver or any other kind of entrails for that matter, so the next best thing (which to me is a huge step better :D) is to make sambal goreng daging with beef cubes. Our food tends to look a big glob of brown thing and sometimes I find it near impossible to convey just how yummy a dish really is, but trust me, this thing is really good. I have to stop myself from licking all the sauce that sticks to the spatula after transferring the beef to a serving plate. ♥

Hi Anita Your website is my lifesaver!! I refer to it every time I need to cook. Thank you so much for that :) For this beef recipe, can I use the pressure cooker to reduce the cooking time? Or do I better off cooking it longer for better taste? Thank you again!! 🙏
Hi Fenny, I don't own a pressure cooker, so I don't know if it will work or not. But you can always give it a try though, I don't think the taste will suffer much if using a pressure cooker.
